Florida Wedding

Last Wednesday night after work, we did the first very short leg of our trip to Destin. We got to LR late and helped Mama Dee pack and got ready to wake up at 5 AM. It was brutal. My mom's best friend, Tami, got the new mid-size Cadillac SUV and it was pimpin'. We thought, this will be the best and easiest trip to Destin ever! We were so wrong. Tami was a chatty-Cathy and the worst driver I've ever ridden with in my life.

She would be talking to my mom, and jerk to the right, to the left, put on the brakes for a semi 345 yards ahead ... I've never been so car-sick in my life. We did watch Two Towers in the car and could put a different CD in other than the best of Michael W. Smith they were playing up front.

Moms and their friends...they're the best/worst. We did make it to Florida in 12 hours on the way down there. It should have been 9 1/2 or 10 at the most. But, we made it. Our cottage was great and it's location was even better. We did the bridesmaids' luncheon and a shrimp boil and everything. The wedding was a blast. So happy for Charles and Chase!

We got there Thursday and came back early Sunday morning. The good news about the make-you-wanna-vomit quick trip to Florida is that, on the way back, Christian got to drive the first half all the way to Jackson. Tami wanted to drive the last half and I got sick again, so I just slept. What else can you do?

We went to Outer Banks, NC last year, but of all the places we've been together, we have only been to the beach once, and it was cold. So, I was glad Christian got to come to Destin. I grew up going there every year so it's fun he got to see a surfer catch a live jellyfish and plop it in front of us so we could watch it die.

Love to all,
Milton
